Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 347 Cold-blooded, childless emperor × Pregnant imperial concubine 5

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has urgent business to discuss with you and is waiting outside the palace."

Xiao Ruizi's anxious voice came from outside. He lowered his head, worried that he might have disturbed His Majesty and Consort Chu.

The emperor's expression turned slightly cold. "What is it?"

"This servant is unaware that Her Highness the Imperial Concubine said she wanted to speak to His Majesty personally."

Chu Yue slowly got up from the emperor and stood aside.

The emperor frowned as he watched her actions, feeling the emptiness in his arms, and his expression grew even worse.

"Your Majesty..." The Imperial Concubine was still waiting outside, and Xiao Ruizi urged her again.

The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat cold. Seeing that the emperor was angry, Chu Yue spoke softly, "Your Majesty... the Imperial Concubine is here..."

"You want me to go?"

The emperor looked at Chu Yue with a dangerous gaze.

"No... Concubine..." Chu Yue was slightly taken aback; she wanted to say that the Imperial Concubine was still waiting outside.

The emperor was in a bad mood. Did Consort Chu not care at all that he went to other women?

Unwilling to say more, the emperor rose, turned and left, leaving Chu Yue standing there stunned.

When the imperial concubine saw the emperor come out, she immediately smiled and followed him away, not caring whether he paid any attention to her or not.

The more the emperor thought about it, the more agitated he became, and with a gloomy expression, he dismissed the imperial concubine.

That night, the emperor did not go to Yilan Palace again. When the imperial concubine found out, she couldn't help but laugh.

"She's finally met her match."

"Your Majesty, I knew His Majesty couldn't favor Consort Chu forever," Dongxue whispered.

"I'll wait for the day she falls out of favor."

……

For several days in a row, the emperor did not go to Yilan Palace, nor did he summon Consort Chu to accompany him.

Hongyu's leg had healed, and she continued to serve Chuyue. Seeing that His Majesty hadn't come for several days, she couldn't help but call out, "Consort Zhao..."

Chu Yue looked over and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"His Majesty hasn't come for several days..."

Chu Yue's eyes flickered slightly. The emperor felt that she didn't care about him and was even trying to push him away.

This is really unfair to Chu Yue. She never intended to push the emperor away. She felt disgusted even looking at other women.

But the emperor, being high above, was always fawned upon; no one ever pushed him away.

However, it's good for men to be left out for a while.

"I said the wrong thing and angered His Majesty," Chu Yue said, her head bowed and her voice filled with disappointment.

The emperor stormed off in anger before she could even finish speaking.

"Consort Zhao..." Hongyu called out with heartache. Consort Zhao had a hard life. She had finally gained the Emperor's favor, but she always felt like she was walking on thin ice and still managed to anger the Emperor.

Chu Yue was secretly heartbroken, and tears slid down her cheeks.

These past few days, Xiao Ruizi has been walking on a knife's edge, as His Majesty has been cold-faced all day, even more so than before.

"Snapped!"

The document was slammed onto the table, and Xiao Ruizi immediately knelt down.

Consort Chu angered His Majesty, yet she didn't even try to appease him. With His Majesty still fuming, Xiao Ruizi's heart was in his throat.

"What has Consort Chu been doing these past few days?"

"Your Majesty, Consort Chu has been staying in her own palace and has not done anything unusual."

The emperor had a cold face. He was angry that Consort Chu had pushed him away. When other women came to invite him, couldn't Consort Chu keep him?

He was so devoted to Consort Chu and spoiled her rotten.

Several days have passed, and she hasn't come to see him at all. The emperor grew angrier the more he thought about it. Did she not care?

That night, the emperor went to Qionghua Palace. The imperial concubine was so surprised that she almost lost her composure. She greeted him softly, and the emperor said indifferently, "Rise."

When the imperial concubine got up, the emperor went to the inner chamber.

Dongxue said with a happy expression, "Your Majesty, His Majesty is here. You must seize this opportunity!"

"I know." The Imperial Concubine smiled with delight, still somewhat incredulous that His Majesty would actually come to her.

But she couldn't be too happy yet; she had to test the waters.

"Dongxue, tomorrow is the first day of the month. Have them go to Qionghua Palace to pay their respects," the Imperial Concubine instructed in a low voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

The imperial concubine took a deep breath and entered the inner room. The emperor sat on the couch, exuding an aura of majesty.

"Your Majesty... let me help you settle in." The Imperial Concubine's eyes were filled with shyness.

"Go and rest."

Upon hearing this, the Imperial Concubine's face stiffened. His Majesty had already arrived, but did he not intend to touch her?

After a long time without the emperor making any move to go to bed, the imperial concubine walked stiffly to the bedside and lay down fully clothed.

His Majesty actually slapped her in the face like this. Her fingertips gripped the brocade quilt tightly, and the Consort shed tears of embarrassment.

The next day, Chu Yue went to Qionghua Palace to pay her respects early in the morning. The palace was always full of people who fawned on the powerful and belittled the weak. Seeing that His Majesty hadn't visited Yilan Palace for a few days, the people in the palace started to speak sarcastically.

Not only was the food much worse, but the attitude towards Yilan Palace was also disrespectful.

On the way, she encountered several women who were laughing at her. Seeing that she looked somewhat haggard, their sarcasm and mockery were written all over their faces.

The emperor didn't have many concubines, but that didn't stop them from making sarcastic remarks about Chu Yue.

Upon entering the hall, Chu Yue discovered that the emperor was also present. She glanced at him briefly before looking away.

The emperor caught her averted gaze and seemed to see shock, grievance, disappointment, and hurt in her eyes.

After paying her respects, the Imperial Concubine began to speak with an air of importance.

"The weather is getting colder, so all palaces should be careful. If you need anything, please report it to me."

"Yes, Your Highness..."

Chu Yue kept her eyes down, not looking up even once more, and she had no interest in listening to what the Imperial Concubine was saying.

I woke up too early and feel a little dizzy.

The emperor kept an eye on Chu Yue out of the corner of his eye the whole time, but after glancing at her in surprise when she entered, he didn't look up at her again.

After arriving here last night, the emperor regretted it. He was angry with Consort Chu, so why did he have to resort to such a method?

Seeing her aggrieved and disappointed eyes again just now made the emperor feel even more distressed.

He originally just wanted to pamper her a little more, but he gradually forgot his original intention and even lost control and ran to the concubine's palace to provoke her over such trivial matters of jealousy.

"Alright, all of you may leave."

Although the imperial concubine wanted to take advantage of the emperor's presence to show off and make them resentful but helpless.

But since the emperor had come all this way, she wanted to take this opportunity to communicate with him more, so she ordered them to leave.

"Yes……"

The concubines also wanted to make an impression on the emperor, but he remained cold and indifferent. The imperial concubine even ordered them to leave, so they had no choice but to reluctantly depart.

Chu Yue kept her head down the whole time. Today she was wearing a simple light green dress, which made her look delicate and lovely. Just as Consort Chu was about to leave with the others, the emperor put on a stern face and said in a deep voice, "Consort Chu."

Chu Yue paused, slowly turned around, but before she could even look up, she suddenly felt dizzy and swayed as if she were about to fall.

As Chu Yue closed her eyes, she felt herself being held tightly in someone's arms, and heard the emperor's anxious voice in her ear: "Summon the imperial physician!"

Everyone watched as the emperor carried Consort Chu away, and he didn't look like he had fallen out of favor at all.

After the commotion subsided, Qionghua Palace fell silent. The Imperial Concubine gritted her teeth and growled, "How dare she...faint in front of me!"

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger."

Dongxue never expected that Consort Chu was so capable, managing to seduce the Emperor again.
